Endings of songs
The activity is not created only for writing, it should also motivate students to learn and develop their imagination.
Tools: copies of worksheets with parts of song lyrics and songs
Aims: creative writing, cooperation, speaking
Procedure: students get worksheets in pairs, they are supposed to finish sentences of famous songs. There is prepared for them the original text for inspiration but it is on them how to finish the sentences. Many songs they probably don't know so it is a good idea to play quietly some of them during the activity. At the end when they are finished they present their best ideas to the reset of the class.
